Do POTUS candidates wear body armor??

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Do POTUS candidates wear body armor??

Just saw a pic of the Prez and he was obviously wearing BA. At what point do the candidates start wearing it out in public? What if Hilldog was the Dem candidate or eventually became prez, how would she conceal it under her pant suits??

Just curious

If Obambi selects Hitlery as VP, then, if he doesn't already, he'd better think strongly about doing it.

Hil-Dogs think skin would protect her.

McCain, last I heard, won't even use Secret Service protection.

Obama has his huge-ass Amazon wife to hide behind.

I'm sure the smart ones do, although there isn't much point to it.

What makes you think for a moment that ANYONE who REALLY knew would be stupid/irresponsible enough to post any kind of credible answer to your question?

Not BA, it's a heart defibrillator system thingy

You could see them during the debates when he was running for pres as well. I don't keep up with him enough to see if he still wears them, just assumed he did.

I was just curious what the thoughts were on this. For all the public appearances they make and the gravity of what they are trying to accomplish, just seems they would be well protected. Bobby Kennedy comes to mind.

It doesn't matter. Only the dumbest of potential assassins would consider anything but a head shot and the weapons likely to be used by a sniper would probably be of the variety that would scream right through a conventional vest/plate setup.
